My PSU is making a ticking noise

Enstage · October 29, 2019

Hello all,

I have a Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1050w PSU, which has been running with no issues for a good year or so. Yesterday it started making a weird ticking noise, it does this whenever my pc is powered on.

I have confirmed that it is not any of my case fans, and it is not the PSU fan (makes the noise even when it's not spinning).

I've attached a recording I made of the noise.

Anyone have any idea what it is? I'm going to contact thermaltake too, see if it's an issue they're aware of.

Thanks!

I've switched around some of the connections to the PSU over to unused ports, it seems to have stopped now...still not comfortable about it though. Will update if there is any change.

Still curious as to what the issue is / was though.

EDIT: nvm, started right back up a few minutes later
